"Charge straight in and kill our way through? Good. That’s a damn good idea!"
In truth, Elosha had already been thinking the sa thing for a long ti.
At this point, they already understood quite a bit about the Abyssfall Ruins, but they also knew that countless monsters infested the place.
There were even large numbers of Rank 8 monsters.
If they wanted to continue descending deeper, they either had to avoid these ruins entirely—which would an losing access to huge amounts of information—
Or force their way in.
By now, it was already obvious that both the ruins and nests within Abyssfall hid major secrets.
If they simply left without investigating them, this entire trip would have been almost aningless.
But if they charged inside...
Heh.
In Abyssfall, one could only descend.
Never ascend.
The mont they chose to slaughter their way forward, there would be no turning back. Escape would beco impossible.
That was why Shumi and Elosha had been resting here.
Losing their mage in a situation like this had placed them at an enormous disadvantage.
But what could a warrior do?
Fight.
That was all.
And now, by sheer coincidence, they had encountered Kanzaki Rei. After exchanging information and discussing their respective missions, they arrived at the answer Elosha found most satisfying.
Kill.
Who cared about anything else?
Just kill!
ROAR—!
Before them, a gigantic tail smashed forward head-on!
It was a colossal black tail, larger than the sun itself. The instant it swung out, waves of black shock ripples spread through the air in expanding rings!
Every Rank 7 monster in the tail’s path exploded into dust the mont it was brushed by the shockwave!
Compared to that enormous tail, Elosha’s body was utterly insignificant.
Before it, she was like a speck of dust trying to oppose an entire planet.
Yet in that instant, the weapon in her hands shifted from a greatsword into a massive war axe.
"Way of Arms—Third Principle: Worldshaker!"
BOOM!
The gigantic axe ca crashing down!
The unstoppable tail halted instantly mid-swing.
Then a streak of razor-like裂光 burst forth, racing along the length of the tail in an instant!
By the ti anyone realized what had happened, Elosha was already dragging her colossal axe behind her—
Charging straight along the massive tail itself!
She had already reached the creature’s main body!
BZZZT—
But in the very next mont, countless blood-red curse sigils materialized out of thin air, wrapping themselves around Elosha’s body!
"GET LOST!"
Elosha roared furiously!
The curse marks shattered apart instantly under the force of her aura!
Through the fragnts, she looked upward—
And saw a floating crimson phantom hanging in the sky.
A Rank 8 monster!
And there wasn’t just one Rank 8 monster here!
BOOM!
The instant the monster appeared, a silver dagger had already pierced through its body!
Alongside the dagger appeared Shumi’s figure.
"Sneaking attacks on my friends is kinda rude, nya~"
SLASH!
She yanked the dagger downward viciously!
A long, thin wound imdiately appeared across the monster’s body.
At the sa ti, the creature’s weaknesses and attack patterns surfaced instantly within Shumi’s mind.
Level 8 Hunter.
The Hunter class used abundant experience, refined techniques, and ticulous preparation to overco every battle.
Everyone in the world said that a prepared mage was the most terrifying class.
But in reality—
Given enough ti to prepare—
The truly most terrifying class was Hunter.
However, as a Level 8 Hunter, Shumi no longer needed extensive preparation before every battle. Her observational abilities during combat already rivaled those of Observers at the sa level.
"Elosha, six more are heading toward you, nya!"
SWISH!
Even as she transmitted the warning ntally, Shumi’s free hand had already begun sharpening her blade again.
FWOOOSH!
Silver water-flas ignited along the dagger’s edge!
STABSTABSTABSTABSTAB!
Shumi moved at astonishing speed. The mont the enchantnt was complete, her attacks exploded into a torrential barrage of strikes.
Before the monster could even make its next move, dozens of fresh holes had already been punched through its body!
anwhile below, Elosha’s giant axe had already carved through one-third of the enormous monster’s body in a single strike. The cut was perfectly smooth, the severed surface clean and flawless.
If that attack had landed inside the Solar System, it could probably have cleaved straight through every planet from Pluto to the Sun in one blow.
And despite all this—
Neither of them even seed to be struggling.
In terms of raw strength, they were undeniably stronger than monsters of the sa rank.
At the very least, far stronger than these obviously mass-produced abominations.
Elosha shattered the mutated blood mist enveloping her body with one swing of her axe, then instantly switched to sword-and-shield form to block the shadow lunging at her from behind.
Only then did she suddenly notice—
A man floating in midair with both arms crossed, watching intently.
"Hey!"
"You’re just gonna stand there and watch?!"
Elosha roared toward the sky!
"Yeah! You’re really just watching, nya?!"
SWISH!
Shumi’s body twisted through the air with feline agility, miraculously weaving through attacks as dense as a storm.
CLANGCLANGCLANGCLANG!
Even while dodging, she continuously clashed her dagger and claws against sothing invisible.
An unseen monster was ambushing her.
Kanzaki Rei smiled apologetically.
"Sorry. I’ve never seen a Level 8 class advancent battle before. It’s my first ti."
"I got a little too absorbed watching."
"Guess I’ll help too."
Rei raised two fingers.
"Way of Azure—Third Principle: Causal Fate."
SWISH—
Shumi’s dagger, which had originally been raised only to parry, suddenly sliced across empty space—
PUCHI!
A long streak of silver-white blood sprayed outward.
That single slash had passed directly through the invisible monster’s brain, killing it instantly as though by miracle.
anwhile, Elosha had rely shifted posture and stepped backward.
But the mont her foot ca down—
CRACK!
She accidentally stomped straight through the giant monster beneath her.
No one even knew what vital point she had stepped on.
They only sensed the creature’s life force rapidly draining away—
As though it had been casually crushed to death beneath a light step.
Causal Fate—
Rei had simply advanced the destined deaths of those two monsters to the present.
"These two count as your kills."
"The rest should belong to ."
"Sis Elosha, the weapon you used just now should’ve been a greataxe."
"Worldshaker... what an incredible Dao Manifestation Technique."
Rei clenched his right hand.
A blood-red giant axe condensed instantly into existence!
CLANG!
The summoned weapon solidified completely, becoming permanent equipnt that would continue existing in reality.
At the sa ti, dozens of enchantnts layered themselves onto the battle axe.
"Azure—Way of Arms: Third Principle."
"Worldbreaker."
Rei spun the battle axe in a violent arc—
Then smashed it straight into the void before him!
BOOOOOOM—!!!
The instant the strike landed, endless fractures exploded through space in every direction!
All the monsters filling the sky shattered apart together with the collapsing void!
Elosha’s pupils contracted violently.
She could instantly feel that every monster surrounding her had completely lost its life force.
That was her Dao Manifestation Technique.
Why could Kanzaki Rei use it?
And that power...
Elosha could feel it clearly.
The collapse of worlds.
The disintegration of all existence.
That strike undoubtedly contained her Dao—
Yet it also contained sothing beyond it.
A far higher realm.
